SpiceJet Tops in Load Factor
Although SpiceJet only has a small fleet of 3 aircrafts, it has proved to be the highest load factor among various low-cost airlines presently operating in India.
Statistics filed with The Directorate-General of Civil Aviation exhibited that Spice Jet had a load factor of almost 93% followed by Air Deccan with 81%and Jet Airways 75%. Kingfisher Air, Air Sahara and Indian Airlines followed with 72%, 71% and 64% respectively. Director of SpiceJet, Ajay Singh said that it was their emphasis on "Safe Travel, On Time Travel And On Reasonable Cost", which had attracted the passengers to their airline in just two months of their operations and this popularity had led the airline for listing of its equity.

Interesting specs. So who is this Ajay Singh anyway and are the Kansagras doing anything concrete.

If i may remember the Hindujas are known to be close to Lufthansa and had a stint earlier with the CARGO forte.
